The Haunting of the Past

The world can be so cold
When you're alone
Like a man looking for a job
And always getting denied
Cause of his past
Not his present
Cause of his looks
Not his knowledge
Makes him feel small
Low self-esteem is in effect
No relationship is possible
Under these conditions
His soul is dried up
Like a Summer without rain
Like Halloween every year
The past haunts
Controlling his every movement
If he is weak
Succeeding in the future
Is slim to none
When the past
Comes a haunting
